Early labor is not the time to go into overdrive. 🤍
One of the biggest reminders I give expecting moms: you don’t have to rush the process.
During early labor, try to:
✨ Rest whenever you can
✨ Eat & stay hydrated
✨ Move gently & change positions
✨ Save your energy for when labor intensifies
✨ Follow your provider’s guidance on when to head to the hospital
And remember: you don’t necessarily need to start timing every contraction the second they begin. As labor progresses, your care team can guide you on what to watch for & when it’s time to come in.
Your body is working hard rest is productive, too. 🤍
Save this for your birth prep & share it with a mama-to-be who needs the reminder!
